LG G-Slate given a video preview by LGgirl

TheOfficialLGgirl, the girl who was chosen recently to shoot an advertisement for LG’s upcoming Tablet – G Slate on T Mobile, was given a G Slate for her after the shoot. She has used this cool gadget and now she is out with a video of her experience with the LG Slate along with the gadget in the video.


Nobody knows, if it was a sponsored or paid commercial from LG or her real experience, but she’s done a great job attaining the attentions of many. The video showed off everything that the new Android tablet can do. It included surfing the web, shooting 3D content with its stereoscopic rear cameras (also capable of shooting 1080p if you don’t fancy 3D) etc. The Android 3.0 HoneyComb tab runs on a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and is capable of showing 3D content (of course 3D glasses needed) and output onto any big screen through its HDMI port.

Google enables site blocking for its users

Not a while ago, Google released a Chrome extension that allows its users to block certain sites from showing up on their search results. This was a great extension, but now, Google has decided to add a blocking feature without any additional extension needed to all of its users.

This extension works great, but it was limited only to Chrome users, therefore, Google decided to add support for all users using their service, no matter what browser they are using. Now in order to block useless sites from your search results you don’t need Chrome browser or any apps. You just need to find a site that you wish to block in your search results and click the ‘Block all’, and you’ll never see that site in your results again.
